Book 5 Family and Friends
| The world of a ten-to-eleven-year-old is an exciting place. They have a new-found ability in perspective-taking, a strong personal sense of right and wrong, a capacity for self-doubt, a growing awareness of the importance of peers, new insights into family relationships, and burgeoning physical abilities. The realistic stories contained in Family and Friends enter that exciting world and help the young person cope with challenges like competition in sports, choosing between right and wrong in front of one’s friends, developing new skills, accepting defeat and victory, learning from mistakes, maintaining relationships in the family, and the difference between courage and foolhardiness. Each story contains a subtle lesson in character and is accompanied by thought-provoking Questions for Reflection and Exercises that bring the lesson to fruition in the young mind. |
